Former president Barack Obama put the cat amongst the pigeons over the weekend after apparently casually confirming that we’re not alone in the universe during a podcast interview. Brian Tyler Cohen was interviewing Obama during a quickfire questions round, in which he was asked, “Are aliens real?”
Without a pause, Obama outright said, “they’re real”. The questioning moved on to other topics, but for those watching, this was a huge moment. If anyone is going to know for sure whether aliens are real or not, it’s going to be a two-time American president with access to the highest level of classified documents.
